I have a beloved copy of CM displayed in a prominent place on my living room bookcase. Do I just stuff the replacement pages in between the old ones? Is there actually a proper procedure to replace pages and rebind a book like that?
- lake_vincent 4y agoYes, but it is an art. I would recommend taking it to a reputable used book store. They will sometimes have traditional bookbinding skills, if they carry lots of old books.
- eru 4y agoA library might also have people with the right skills?
- hugey010 4y agoThere are book binders that will do one offs, and the binding will probably be better than the original if you get it sowed & glued correctly!
- kevinpet 4y agoThe conventional way to add a page to a book is to glue it along the inside edge. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tipped-in_page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tipped-in_page There are several versions of this article floating around the web showing the process if you happen to have bookbinding equipment laying around https://www.lineco.com/book-repair-3/ https://www.lineco.com/book-repair-3/
